All I can seem to recall is references I could piece together, not the actual story. I understand that he and his wife chose to have an abortion. I believe in context, the child had some health issue, the specifics of which I'm not sure. I don't know if the child was going to die shortly after birth or if it would simply have a disability. I don't know how late in the pregnancy the abortion took place. I don't know how hard Frink and his wife labored over the decision, though it appears to me that it was agonizing for them both.

I want to be clear on my views, which match those of my church Abortion is wrong in all circumstances except: 1) health of the mother is in jeopardy; 2) forcible rape/incest; 3) the child will almost certainly die shortly after birth. It sounds to me like Frink's case might match the latter, though I'm not certain. If that is the case, he will never again need to make reference to how I think less of him when I make generalized statements, because he will know that there is no reservation in my heart for his situation. If the child would have problems but might have lived, I will still disagree with his decision, but will understand why he did what he did and have no less respect for him. In either case, I harbor no judgment.

In the case of, "Gosh, I only wanted one kid and it looks like we're pregnant again, honey," I am far more disappointed. In the case of, "Rats! I just wanted to have sex without the natural consequences that follow, and now I don't want to take responsibility for my having fun," I am also displeased with this. But I don't consider such people murderers per se, as I don't feel they know better in general. Those that know better (i.e. other Christians, Mormons especially) disappoint me most of all. Frink falls into none of these categories, so he need not feel judged.
